Solution : Given: The loan is given at 5% per annum simple interest during the first year and with an increase of 0.5% simple interest every year from the second year onwards. Time = 4 years Let the loan amount be $x$. Total interest earned = 5 + 5.5 + 6 + 6.5 = 23% According to the question, 23% of $x$ = 4600 ⇒ $x = \frac{4600×100}{23}=20000$ So, the loan amount was INR 20,000. Hence, the correct answer is INR 20,000.
